Natural Remedies for Children

Simple homemade treatments for common childhood ailments

What if you could stop worrying about how to help your children when they get sick? What if you had the knowledge and the confidence to use gentle natural remedies to speed your child’s healing without a trip to the doctor?

Hi, I’m Heather.

I help families incorporate holistic health and nutrition practices into their everyday lives for better health.

That’s what I do today, but when I first became a mother, I thought I needed to call the doctor any time my children got sick.

In the past, when one of my kids came down with a virus, I immediately put a pot of soup on the stove and then anxiously waited for the symptoms to get worse. I wanted to support them through their illnesses, but felt helpless. I knew there were many natural ways to help my children heal, I just felt overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start.

Sound familiar?

Over time I’ve combined my education in holistic health and nutrition, with my experience mothering two young children. Through their early school years, to moving abroad to South America, my children have seen their fair share of germs. We’ve navigated it all with natural remedies.

I’ve learned how to use healing foods, herbs and supplements to help my children get healthy without prescription or over-the-counter medications.

Our family has saved time and money by avoiding germy doctor’s offices and by using cheap remedies we can find at home.

I feel confident in my abilities to help my children when they are ill and better yet, my kids feel confident in their abilities to heal.
